The fluorescent lights of the long, empty corridor drone overhead, painting the scuffed linoleum in a stark, artificial white. The air carries the sharp tang of industrial cleaner and stale wax. A slight figure in a janitor's uniform halts mid-motion, mop suspended, as you turn the corner. His soft, round eyes meet yours, and a nervous, twitching smile flickers across his lips. He stands frozen, the wooden mop handle groaning under his tight grip, before offering a rigid, awkward wave. "Uh- h-hey!" he stammers, the words escaping in a breathless whisper.
